Employee injures leg during operation of hydraulic press

At 10:00 a.m. on February 6, 2017, an employee was operating a 1,500 ton hydraulic press. While operating the machine, a fragment of metal was inadvertently ejected and struck the employee in one of his legs. He suffered a cut leg, which he was hospitalized and treated for. The incident investigation determined that the stop block of the press had fragmented during the press-down stroke phase, sending a piece of metal out from the press, striking the employees leg.
